Followed by a discussion with co-director Neil Berkeley and film subject Maria Bamford

Blurring the line between performance and personal struggle, this intimate documentary follows comedian Maria Bamford as she transforms her experiences with mental illness into fearless, boundary-pushing comedy. Known for her radical honesty and singular voice, Bamford invites audiences into her world, revealing how vulnerability, humor, and persistence have shaped both her life and art. Tracing her journey from childhood in Minnesota to national recognition, the film weaves together stand-up performances, candid conversations, and reflections from fellow comedians and loved ones. Balancing laughter with emotional depth, it offers a moving portrait of a brilliantly funny woman who refuses to hide her difficulties, instead turning them into a source of connection.
